The Live More Lightly Songbook and Workshop Guide
Changing the world one small action at a time.
Problem: It took each one of us to create the environmental danger that we are now facing and I believe that it will take the efforts of everyone making lifestyle changes to clean it up. The solution I offer is to sing a fun song and make a pledge to "do one small thing to make a stand and live more lightly upon the land". Everyone can take individual action to help to solve environmental problems and the Live More Lightly workshop encourages them to take the first easy step. Many people feel overwhel...

Information for Action
An automated lobbying service
Problem: The problem is that not enough people lobby their leaders about the environment. Perhaps this is because they do not know how to reach their leaders or they do not know what to say.

Action: www.informaction.org is an easy to use automated lobbying service, allowing people to quickly send emails, letters or faxes to politicians and business leaders all over the world.
